For Our Buyers

Buying real estate is a big deal! Whether you are buying your first home or rental investment property to begin your real estate dream, Empire Property Solutions/Atova can help. There are many questions most buyers have and I’m happy to answer them and even the questions you didn’t know to ask.

I'll help you know:

Is buying right for me / Rent vs Buy

So many of today’s buyers were renters only a few months ago and didn’t know they could afford a home of their own. I’m able to guide you to the right people and places to give you the right information and advise you need and evaluate your monthly budget. Going to the right people and places will rapidly get you pre-qualified and show you what homes would be available to you if your monthly payment for rent was changed from rent to mortgage. Learn about some advantages of buying a home.

How much can I afford?

As your Realtor, I honestly don’t ever want a homeowner working just to make the payment. The end result is to see you live IN your home and not FOR your home! Use this Mortgage Calculator to get an idea of what a payment would be.

When do I need to get pre-approved for a mortgage and how do I do that?

Getting preapproved is the first step to take. It will identify any issues that need to be taken care of prior to making an offer on new home. It will show what price of home you qualify for so we search for properties that you know you can afford and feel comfortable in. Boise has many lenders that can help you find the best loan program for you.

How do I find a home that will meet my needs?

I will take you to look at as many properties as you need. Before we begin, we listen to your needs, factor in market conditions and make a plan from there. I also provide you with private custom search links into the local MLS so you are looking at the same data in the same time I am. This cuts back on buyer’s frustration with other online sites that show you properties that are not available or don’t qualify for your loan programs.
